Just bought these and could immediately tell the difference in decreased road noise and increased traction/handling. I had the first version just placed on the rear wheels which I can't complain about but I think these new ones are better.

Straight away, I'm impressed with these tires. It's far too soon to make any judgement in terms of longevity, but the ride quality and the quietness is superb.

Bought these to replace my original Michelin Defence that were a great set of tires! Looking forward to another 4 years of great driving experiences !!

I bought the original set about a year and a half ago, but they wore down a little quicker than I thought about 60K, I contacted Michelin and they stood by their warranty and reimbursed me a percentage, so I bought another set, very happy with them

I put a very used set of these on a 1992 suburban, without the 4 wd hooked up. They were almost gone, and I never slipped. I'm in Michigan, on some Michelins.

I have previously used Defender tires on a light truck. Now, I have purchased Defender2 for my Toyota Avalon. Very Quiet Smooth ride! Feels like I am driving a new vehicle.

Just bought these tires to replace some that were failing at 17000 miles. I hope these will do as good as other Michelin tire in past which when farther that expected

I bought four of the Defender 2 tires and will be putting them on for the third summer season within the next two weeks. They are still in perfect shape with lots of seasons left in them!

To the person’s who’s gas mileage went down, you have to put in the correct psi, 36! And you get the best mpg! I still get ~38 mpg highway and my car is a 2015 with 145,000 miles on it. 34-35 city but have to keep it at 36 psi

I purchased them n the spring and I am very satisfied with the performance of the tire, no issues with rain, mud or day to day travel, would purchase again
